Modeling Generosity, Molecularly Speaking

My students need 10 molecular modeling kits to visualize the way that atoms bond and interact.

Chemistry can be a wonderful way for students to apply their creativity in an exciting problem solving arena. I teach sophomores, juniors, and seniors in a large, urban, public high school in New Hampshire.

Although we have a functional facility, our city has systematically cut funding for the schools. This has increased class sizes and decreased the resources available to teachers for materials in their classrooms.

The majority of people rely strongly on their visual learning skills, and my students are no different. I have found that if learners can see and experience chemistry first-hand, their understanding of difficult and complex topics is greatly increased. Because of this, my students would benefit fantastically from these modeling sets! They would allow them to visualize the way that chemical bonds form and how those molecules physically interact with each other. The ability to hold and manipulate "molecules" would help my students to better understand the three-dimensional aspect of chemistry.

Many people are intimidated by chemistry for a variety of reasons. If these molecular modeling sets can help dissolve that fear in one aspect of the class, the confidence that the students will build can be applied to other areas of the course and their lives. We may give someone the confidence to pursue a life as a rocket scientist or genetic engineer. Our futures may be in their hands!
